autism dictionary

Some of these may be common sense, but I figured to put some key terms on here for those who don’t know.

504 Plan - A plan that ensures disabled kids will academically succeed. Similar to an IEP.

AD(H)D - Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder

ASD - Autism spectrum disorder.

A$ - Autism $peaks, aka a horrible organization that has no autistic people on the board, claims to want to find a “cure” for autism as if it’s a disease, make the parents of autistic children seem like the victims, make extremely incorrect/offensive statements about autism, etc. read this if you want more info.

Autism/Autism Spectrum Disorder - A neurological condition that’s marked by differences in learning styles, passionate interests in specific subjects, repetitive motion, and sometimes difficulty with language and communication. Typically a broader term/umbrella for other disorders (such as Aspergers Syndrome.)

Behavior - A manner of acting.

Cognitive behavioral therapy - A type of psychotherapy in which negative patterns of thought about the self and the world are challenged in order to alter unwanted behavior patterns or treat mood disorders such as depression.

Hyperresponsiveness - Abnormal sensitivity or over reactivity to sensory input; feeling overwhelmed by what most people would consider common or ordinary, such as a child reacting negatively to a hug.

Hyporesponsiveness - Abnormal insensitivity or under reactivity to sensory input, such as a child who appears deaf but their hearing is normal.

IEP - A plan that ensures disabled kids will academically succeed. Similar to a 504 Plan.

Meltdown - The body’s way of reacting to overstimulation, often confused with temper tantrums. Can be very loud or very quiet. The person experiencing a meltdown will often show signs of distress or frustration.

Obsessions - Repetitive thoughts that are persistent and intrusive.

Sensory overload - Sensory overload is basically when something overwhelms you to the point of not being able to function. Examples are loud noises, being given too much information at once, flashy lights, a certain texture. It could even be small things, like mouth noises or breathing or the squeaking of a pencil.

Shutdown - A muted response to sensory overload, typically the “opposite” of a meltdown. The person will go completely silent, isolate themselves, go completely still, etc.

Special interest - An intense or passionate love for a certain interest, such as Pokemon or the Dictionary. They are very meaningful and important, to the person, and they can either be lifelong, or they will faze out to make room for a new one.

SPD - Sensory processing disorder.

Stimming - Repetitive behavior that people with autism commonly partake in, sometimes to alleviate the stressors of overstimulation. Examples include rocking, flapping/clapping your hands, spinning a toy, pacing, etc.

Different types of fairies

Not all are listed, only a few, there are far too many...

Never offer money, they consider this poor taste and they will mess up your house.

If any of you think autistic people don’t have the capability of being powerful and scary, here’s a game

My friend Zack, me, and a few other people have a game we play in robotics when we have free time. Zack is blindfolded, he spins around for 30 seconds, and then he has to find us. (It’s like a quiet version of Marco Polo) The problem with this, however, is he has insanely good hearing, and he can tell where he is in the room by the sound of the vents. (The left side of the room has a vent that has a slightly higher pitched air flow than the one on the right, and only he and I can hear this.) So that, in combination with him being able to hear the sound of our breathing/any movement, he is scarily accurate.

The worst part? He is fucking insane. Whenever he hears someone, he lets loose a maniacal giggle and sprints to that person. There is no escaping, and it’s literally akin to some sort of horror game that’s rigged. (Imagine Outlast meets Five Nights at Freddy’s, and then you have to play hide or die.) The only person who has managed to beat him is me, and that’s because I was quiet enough until 10 seconds before the five minute timer went off, and then sprinted around the room until he ran into a chair and the alarm sounded.

TL;DR: My autistic friend has echolocation and is absolutely horrifying when playing a quieter version of Marco Polo.

Dad: Don’t you think it’s about time you go to sleep?

Me: An egg is about to rise above kylie jenner on social media and I’m here to witness it

Dad: *look at me like he is questioning every single decision he made while raising me*

It’s never their fault.

when I was a senior this guy a grade below me, we’ll call him T, was messing with a girl and one of my classmates had a younger brother in that grade, D, and D was friends with the girl so he told the T to meet him in the bathroom to duke it out. we left lunch and started to walk down the hall only to be hit with an awful smell and a few teachers telling us we couldn’t go down the hall. a while later, word got around that D punched T in the gut and he pooped in his pants. I dont know if any school has a drill or procedure to follow for that kind of thing but we weren’t allowed to leave the classroom for a while.

tldr: this guy literally got the crap punched out of him

Media: “Female teacher seduces male student.”

Feminists: “You spelled rape wrong.”

Other Men: “She’s hot. He’s so lucky. Where was she when I was in high school?”

MRAs: “Why are male rape victims not taken seriously? It’s clearly the fault of feminists and not the fault of other men.”
